Feast 139

Woo-Hoo! Exciting week, this. First a book in the mail and now I'm the winner of Marianne's last contest. She has another one starting today so rush over and leave a comment here. The contest will run until next Thursday, April 19, at 7 PM EST. Good luck. Don't you just love contests?

It's time for Friday's Feast again. If you decide to play along, leave a comment at the site above and let me know too. It's a fun way to get to know a little bit about each other here in the blogosphere. It's interesting to see the similarities and differences.

AppetizerWhen you were a child, which crayon color was your favorite? Any of the blue shades. Cornflower and turquoise were my favorites among the blues. And, blue is still my "favorite" color... even though I wear mostly blacks and reds.

SoupOn a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 being highest), how likely would you be to change jobs if it required you to move? If the money was way better, and it was a job I would enjoy,... you bet! Well... it depends on where. I don't do cold.

SaladTake all the numbers in your birthday and your phone number and add them up, one by one. What’s the total? Numbers or numerals? Does nobody remember that distiction from school? "numbers"- the total is 6582. "numerals"- the total is 75.

Main CourseHave you ever “re-gifted” anything? If so, what was it and who did you pass it on to? I've received books and movies before that I already had copies of, and I've gifted those to other friends.

DessertName something you need from the store. I just did my monthly shopping this week. Let me see...nope, I don't need anything. Trust me... that's not normal! Usually there's SOMETHING I've forgotten!

Loved your feast! I'm glad to find a fellow blue lover.....and I also wear a lot of black and red....is there a pattern here?To answer your question about the UMC. We have ALWAYS been subject to be moved yearly. It doesn't happen often but we are appointed a year at the time. Each year at Annual Conference the Bishop reads the appointment list and you are either appointed to a new church (and you already know if you are moving) or reappointed to the one you are presently serving. The "norm" for many years was for minister's to stay four years. But most stay longer now. We were in our last appointment for 20 years!That's a simplified explanation but I didn't want to write a book!!I knew Carlton Carruth. Small world.

Merissa is a faerie with no magic, no memory... and no friends. Until a hummingbird arrives with an ominous message: The Queen wants her dead.

With the help of the hummingbird Chippen, Merissa sets out on a dangerous journey to find the one faerie who may know the truth about her past. But they only find more questions when they meet Griff, a gypsy boy with pale grey eyes and one heart-melting dimple and Merissa discovers a strange connection between them. But soon her past will endanger them all.

But she is a faerie. And faeries are protectors. So if anything will help Merissa regain her lost powers it will be to save her friends.Enjoy an Excerpt

Nathan Crowder, welcome and thank you for agreeing to chat with us today. Where are you from?

I was born and raised in cowboy country, spending most of my life in a town in the southwest corner of Colorado where the cornerstone of the economy was tourism and the college. We had a good-sized Latin population, and were close to several reservations, the Navajo Nation being the largest, and that helped shape a lot of my world view. My dad was big into architecture and existential philosophy, and was a librarian for the college. That was pretty influential for me as well. I even wanted to be a librarian for several years as a result.

Inside the Mind of Amy L. Gale

Ok, time to pick at my brain. Don’t worry, this isn’t an anatomy lesson. Whether it’s a crazy daydream of a random idea, we all have our own one-of- kind take on all aspects of life. Unique concepts are one of the things that make us individuals. I’m ready to share some of the thoughts ruling my brain waves.

My mind always seems to be constantly running, much quicker than my mouth, although some would disagree (ha ha). I’m always thinking up different scenarios and shaping characters to play out these roles in my brain. As an only child, I found myself desperately wishing for a playmate. Often times no one else was around so I did what anyone in that situation would do; I created imaginary friends. These i…
